Just the mailguard and SMTP inspection features, really.

Otherwise, it's perfectly alright.  

I don't use it.

we use exchange to, and the PIX rocks. Thing runs rock solid and has proven
itself to be secure.

What problems are you having with pic usage and exchange?

We use Exchange, so PIX has some issues with a few things, recent
vulnerability notwithstanding.

I'd also favour OpenBSD [1] over FreeBSD for the alternative.

Hi:

A Pix is a great solution.  Not only is Cisco the leading Network company
but they have so many items for your network that the Pix is a great FW.  Is
it gonna be the perfect solution - perhaps not but will it work with the
Cisco IDS?  Yep, and it does a phenomial job.  Did I mention VPN?  It is to
bad that politics are playing a part when you need a strong solution for
your protection.

Jut think about it.  I am not a Cisco rep but it is so important to have
good fw protection for your network.

Thank you,

Too bad about the pix.  FreeBSD 4.4 + ipfilter can do nearly all that pix 
can do, and in many ways, more than pix can do, and it's free.
